Hopefully I&#39;ll have time in the coming weeks, as I got some interesting material in Hawaii.Gene Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933449.post-89312821074633636782012-09-04T13:13:07.099-07:002012-09-04T13:13:07.099-07:00I would say that in the cemeteries that I visit, a...I would say that in the cemeteries that I visit, about half of those interred do not have a marker. The trustees have lists and maps to help you find people without markers, but there is nothing in situ. That is different from not knowing who is in the grave. I have never come across a &#39;x-doe&#39; marker here in Australia at all.<br /><br />That final shot of the cemetery in Hawaii is interesting to me. It shows that there ARE places in America where a full grave bed is the go. Up until now, I have mainly been seeing that, even from the early days, there was a headstone, but no bed-stone. Over hear, single headstones are only now the rage, and this is to allow a tractorised mower in between the memorials.<br /><br />Thanks for rejoining, Gene.

I have seen a few flat stones in areas reserved for benevolent societies and must look more closely to see what they say.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933449.post-17835362540682134012012-09-04T07:35:30.761-07:002012-09-04T07:35:30.761-07:00I clicked and enlarged so I could see the photo cl...I clicked and enlarged so I could see the photo clearly --- very interesting!
